Endocrine disruptors interfere with hormone regulation, which can affect children’s growth, brain development, and overall health. Early exposure can lead to developmental delays, learning disabilities, and long-term health problems.

• Phthalates – Disrupt hormone levels, potentially affecting physical and mental development.
• BPA (Bisphenol A) – Mimics estrogen, interfering with brain and body development during childhood.
• Parabens – Disrupt natural hormone balance, which may influence growth and behavior.
• Triclosan – Affects hormone regulation, potentially delaying puberty and impairing immunity.
• Oxybenzone – Alters hormone function, potentially causing early puberty and developmental issues.
• DEHP (Diethylhexyl Phthalate) – Impacts hormone systems, potentially affecting growth and sexual development.
• Alkylphenol Ethoxylates (APEs) – Disrupt hormone systems, impacting developmental and reproductive health.
• Cyclotetrasiloxane – Interferes with hormonal balance, affecting growth and development.
• Methoxychlor – Pesticide that disrupts estrogen, impacting children's development and health.

Carcinogens are chemicals that can cause cancer, and children’s rapidly developing bodies are particularly vulnerable to these harmful effects. Early exposure can increase the risk of cancer later in life.

• Lead – Damages brain development and increases cancer risk, particularly harmful to young children.
• Asbestos – Can cause lung disease and cancer, especially when inhaled over time.
• Benzene – Affects bone marrow and immune system, raising leukemia risk in children.
• Formaldehyde – A known carcinogen that can cause irritation and long-term respiratory issues.
• Coal Tar – Contains carcinogens that could be harmful to children's skin and overall health.
• Silica (Crystalline) – Exposure can lead to respiratory issues and cancer risk over time.
• Styrene – Increases risk of respiratory problems and may raise cancer risk.
• Dioxins – Persistent chemicals that accumulate in the body, raising cancer risk and damaging immune systems.
• Carbon Black – Linked to lung cancer and may cause long-term respiratory harm.
• Acrylamide – Damages DNA and may increase cancer risk in children.
• Vinyl Chloride – Raises the risk of liver cancer and other organ damage, particularly with long-term exposure.
• Hexavalent Chromium – Causes cellular damage and increases cancer risk.
• Nitrosamines – Can damage DNA and are linked to increased cancer risk.

Neurotoxins affect the development of the brain and nervous system, which is especially harmful to children as their brains are still growing. Exposure can lead to developmental delays, learning disabilities, and behavioral issues.

• Mercury – Affects brain development, leading to cognitive delays and motor skill issues.
• Toluene – Damages the nervous system, potentially impairing focus and memory in children.
• Methanol – Can cause neurological damage, leading to developmental delays and learning issues.
• Hydroquinone – May affect brain function, leading to issues with memory and attention.
• Xylene – Impairs brain function and can cause dizziness and headaches, hindering focus.
• Acrylamide – Harms the nervous system, potentially affecting movement, cognition, and learning.

Children’s lungs are particularly vulnerable, and exposure to respiratory irritants can lead to asthma, bronchitis, and other long-term lung issues. These irritants can worsen allergies and increase the risk of chronic respiratory diseases.

• Ammonia – Causes irritation of the airways, triggering coughing and asthma symptoms.
• Chlorine – Irritates the lungs and may exacerbate respiratory issues, especially in children with asthma.
• Naphthalene – Can cause breathing difficulties, including wheezing and asthma attacks.
• Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) – Known to cause respiratory problems and allergic reactions.
• Methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI) – Triggers respiratory sensitivities and allergic responses in sensitive children.
• Xylene – Can irritate the lungs and cause dizziness, potentially impairing normal activity

These chemicals can harm the development of reproductive organs and fertility, affecting children’s growth and their future health. Exposure at a young age can lead to issues during puberty and adulthood.

• Cadmium – Disrupts growth and development, leading to potential fertility issues later in life.
• Boric Acid – Toxic to reproductive systems and harmful to organs, affecting children’s overall health.
• Benzalkonium Chloride – Linked to toxicity in reproductive organs, potentially impacting development.
• Hexavalent Chromium – Can harm reproductive organs and disrupt healthy development.

Children’s skin and eyes are much more sensitive than adults', making them highly susceptible to irritation, rashes, and long-term damage from chemicals that cause inflammation.

• SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) – Can cause skin irritation, dryness, and allergic reactions.
• Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA) – Irritates the skin and can trigger allergic reactions.
• Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) – Can cause skin sensitivity and irritation.
• Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) – Known to cause skin rashes and allergic reactions in children.
• Methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI) – Causes severe skin allergies and eye irritation in children.
• Boric Acid – Can cause skin irritation and is toxic if ingested, which is particularly dangerous for kids.
• Phenol – Harms the skin upon contact and can cause eye irritation and burning.
• Ethylene Glycol – A skin irritant that causes rashes and dryness, potentially leading to more severe reactions.

These toxins do not break down easily in the environment, meaning they can accumulate in the food chain and cause long-term health problems for children, especially as they grow and develop.

• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) – Releases harmful chemicals during degradation, which can persist in the environment.
• Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) – Stays in the environment and bioaccumulates in the body, raising health risks.
• Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) – A persistent pollutant that accumulates in the body and can affect liver function.
• Flame Retardants (PBDEs) – Persist in the environment, causing developmental and neurological issues.
• Ethoxylated Ingredients – May contain harmful 1,4-dioxane, a probable carcinogen.
• Polystyrene – Breaks down slowly, releasing harmful chemicals into ecosystems and posing a risk to children’s health.
